I'm using jfs on several machines and I've noticed very strange beahviour since I've installed test5 release of linux 2.6.0 kernel. (x86,SMP(HT)) I've had to reboot the machine (in one case with hard reset) and after the boot the jfs partiton was corrupted. Some files were missing, some others unaccessible (Permission denied to do anything, even lsattr, to root), some others with Input/Output error. I've experienced this on two different systems,and on both systems I've lost, for example, /var/lock/subsys directory. With test4 all works just fine. I've used jfs utils 1.1.2 and 1.0.4. On one machine fsck (1.1.2) locks indefinitely on Phase 1, with pipe symbol going back and fort but without any HD movement. Also, on the same partition, I've had to move away some files (i.e. Xfree log) because it was impossible to delete or overwrite them. Also other files operations like rpm --rebuilddb runs only for few steps then get stopped until ctrl-c is pressed.
I've switched back to test4 but the filesystems remains corrupted (but it's stable, no further damages) I'm worried that this can be a test5 problem, if more details are needed I've still the broken partition on the machine, so I can make more tests. -- Fabio Coatti http://www.ferrara.linux.it/members/cova Ferrara Linux Users Group http://ferrara.linux.it GnuPG fp:9765 A5B6 6843 17BC A646 BE8C FA56 373A 5374 C703 Old SysOps never die... they simply forget their password. _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
